Vanda merrillii

I am happy when any of my merrilliis are in bloom. The flowers are fragrant with wonderful color, substance, and texture.
However, getting the right background to highlight those characteristics is a pain. Today I just clicked away, without setting up a lighter backdrop.
The second photo is a bit overexposed with the ring flash.
